'Deeply personal and blisteringly powerful.’ Tom Marcus, author of SOLDIER SPY
The incredible true story of life as a London firefighter.
What is it really like to be a firefighter? How does it feel to respond to an emergency call, to know that someone's life hangs in the balance and every second is critical?
Into the Fire offers an unforgettable insight into the highs and lows of life in the fire service. Chronicling his thirteen-year career in the London Fire Brigade, Edric Kennedy-Macfoy takes us with him from his training days as a new recruit to his very first fire; from call-outs to cannabis farms, chemical spills and trapped swans to the devastating scenes of road traffic collisions, the Croydon tram derailment and the Grenfell Tower fire.
Heart-breaking, deeply personal and at times hilarious, this is his remarkable story.
Customer Reviews
Nothing more then fiction
This read is a complete work of fiction. As a trainee firefighter I can honestly say the book is over exaggerated and is based more around his life then the London Fire Brigade itself.
